The book blends humor and critique, touching on various subjects including literature, theater, and societal observations, showcasing Broun's observations and opinions on a wide range of topics. It features a reflective and often sardonic tone as Broun engages with cultural figures and trends of his time. The opening of the book presents a preface that sets the stage for Broun's exploration of different themes and ideas. In it, the author exhibits a self-aware critique of his own writing, as well as the broader literary and critical landscape. He reflects on the nature of honesty in writing, the value of ambition versus talent, and the chaotic mix of genres in his work. Following the preface, the first chapter discusses women's representation in literature, particularly in E.M. Hull's novel "The Sheik," through the lens of female psychology and the peculiarities of romance and violence in storytelling, laying the groundwork for Broun's distinctive style that mixes personal insight with cultural commentary.
